ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book’s heart is rooted in the imagination of one of its editors at Trinity University Press, the poet Barbara Ras. I am deeply grateful for Barbara, for her life and her life’s work, for her belief in me as a writer, for calling me out of the void to take a ride on this star. She has made my life better, and I will remain in gratitude until the end.
My gratitude to everyone too at Trinity for championing my work, especially director Tom Payton and my editor Steffanie Mortis, whose talent and job it is to make books better—she certainly made this book better. Also at Trinity, thanks to Burgin Streetman, Sarah Nawrocki, Lee Ann Sparks, and Bridget McGregor.
